Historically, the area known as New York’s “Capital Region” encompasses eleven counties in upstate New York. These counties include: Albany, Columbia, Fulton, Greene, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Warren, and Washington. The Capital Region includes New York State’s capital city of Albany, as well as the major cities of Schenectady and Troy and the popular resort destinations of Saratoga Springs and Lake George.

Today, the Capital Region has evolved far beyond its traditional boundaries. Driven by rich and resourceful innovation, the “Tech Valley” region is rapidly becoming recognized on the global scene as a premier site for the development of innovative, high technology companies. Tech Valley stretches from the Canadian border south to Westchester County and HudsonSounds coverage does as well, but selectively.

With major performing arts companies and venues in the surrounding geographical region, HudsonSounds also lists events and highlights performance and work found in the Leatherstocking region (central NY), the Berkshires in Western Massachusetts, and Southern Vermont.
